He had been stricken about three weeks previously, had been taken to Misericordia Hospital, where an operation was performed, and had partially recovered and was brought home a week previous to his death. For a time it was be- lieved that he would recover, but a sudden relapse proved more than he could stand. He had been a resident of Haileybury continuously since 1907 and dur- ing the years had become wel) known and respected by all with whom he came in contact. Mr. MacArthur was born on May 26th, 1867, at Kames, in Argyllshire, Scotland, the son of the late John MacArthur and Margaret Johnston, and spent his early childhood at Tighnabruaich, near his birthplace. In 1874 he came with his parents to Canada and for a time the family lived at Waterville, Quebec, but returned to the Old Land after some 18 months. He was apprenticed toa firm of printers, and after com- pleting his apprenticeship came again to America and spent two yearin Boston. He returned to Scotland and remained seven years before again setting out for the new world in 1904, having married in the meantime. His next journey to this side of the Atlantic brought him to Toronto where he remained for three years, coming to Haileybury in 1907. Mr..MacArthur and F. R. MacDonald published the first mining paper printed in Cobalt, in 1907. It was called the Cobalt Mining News. He worked for a time in the old government em- ployment office in Cobalt, later going to the Nipissing Mine as timekeeper, a position he held for 14 years. Around 1920, Mr. MacArthur went back to the printing business and operated the shop of the late Simon Stahl for a time, after which he was appointed tax collector for the town of Haileybury, continuing in the employ of the municipality as assessor up to last year. In his younger days, Mr. Mac- Arthur was greatly interested in sports. He was an expert rifle shot and competed at Bisley on different occasions. He was also interested in rowing, being a member of a club in Glasgow and cherishing since that time a num- ber of cups and other trophies. He served with the old British Volunteers as a sergeant of the ianarkshire Artillery and one of his most prized possessions was a long service medal from that unit. Mr. MacArthur was a staunch Presbyterian until Church Union was effected, afterwards becom- ing an active member of the Unit- ed Church here. For some years past he had been clerk of the session, a member of the choir since the church was opened and for many years taught in the Sunda y School. Tribute to his work for the church he loved was paid by Rey. W. A. Beecroft when the funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon and a large congregation gathered in the edi- fice to pay their last respects. Mr. Beecroft spoke with feeling of the service that had been giv- en by Mr. MacArthur to the Church and to the community, of his simple piety and old fashion- ed faith which had helped to maintain the community. "We pay tribute of respect and thank- fulness,' the minister said, "for his fellowship, his citizenship and his religion," and he concluded the service with the following: "Father in Thy gracious keeping leave we now Thy servant sleep- ing." Pallbearers at the _ funera were: N. Morissette, J. E. Dunn Geo. T. Hamilton, H. G. Pickard J. Reavell and H. Clifford. Inter- ment was in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Surviving Mr. MacArthur are his widow, formerly Miss Robena MacMilne; two sons, John Alex- ander and William Archibald; one daughter, Marie Louise, a mem- ber of the New Liskeard High School teaching staff; two sis- ters, Mrs. W.

To them goes the sympathy of the whole commun- ity. Verse Written to Mark Royal Visit Widely Quoted Last spring when the King and Queen were in Canada, Colonel Hugh Clark wrote a verse for the High River (Alberta) Times which has been quoted in many newspapers and periodicals in Canada, the United States and Great Britain, but escaped our notice until a reader sent in a copy just a few days ago. It seems to us to be rather good and we reproduce it here: A VOLTE FACE "T used to think I'd hate to be His Majesty the King, And have to go upon parade while people shout and sing; To have to change my uniform a dozen times a day, a And take a scheduled part in ceremonial display; To have to live in that fierce light that beats upon a throne, Had nothing glamorous for me-- I'd rather live my own. That's how I felt about the King; *twas natural, I ween, But I confess I changed my mind the day I saw the Queen." Engine Backfiring Causes Serious Damage to Automobile The backfiring of the engine was given as the cause of serious damage to a car belonging to the Mills Taxi Service of New Lis- keard, a mile north of that town on the main highway at about ¢ p.m. on Sunday last, according to Provincial Constable Art Souliere who was called by the driver Laurie Mills, to investigate. The wiring had caught fire, the officer said, and the flames spread under the instrument panel to the front seat, causing damage to the ex- tent of $200, but no injury to the driver. The car had been in for repairs and was' being given a tryout when the fire occurred. District Ore Shipments Seven cars of ore, with a total weight of 621,398 pounds, were shipped from the Cobalt camp during the month of February this year, according to the state- ment of the T. & N.O. Railway issued this week. Cobalt Pro- ducts Limited accounted for more than half of this total, with four cars containing 368,504 pounds. Three other shippers, with one car each, make up the list: Tem- iskaming Testing Laboratory 52,535 pounds; Nipissing Mines 91,182, and O'Brien, 109.177.

From the soil and the sun it draws its goodness. And how you do enjoy this goodness in Cubs--they're whole wheat made * more enticing still with mellow malt. They're crispy-fresh, toast- ed a golden brown. Just try about thirty Cubs with hot or cold milk for breakfast. See how enjoyable they are--and how satisfying! They're the whole wheat, with its natural minerals, its bran, its valuable wheat germ. Serve Cubs for breakfast tomorrow.

Under its steady leadership, Canada has gone ahead on all fronts--war, economic and domestic. With clear heads and with feet on the ground, this group of purposeful men is making every ounce of Canada's weight felt in our fight for freedom. What it has done has been done thoroughly: there has been no loose thinking; no half-measures; no waste of men, money or materials. Some of the Mackenzie King Administration Wartime Accomplishments it united Canada as never before -- Every province is heart and soul behind the Empire's war effort this time, thanks to the Administration's truly national policies. The First Division, completely equipped, has been sent overseas to a Mother country prepared to receive it. The Second Division is recruited, equipped and ready to go over. The great Empire Air Training Scheme-- sponsored and mainly financed by Canada, Has been Jaunched on a planned and ordered SIS, Naval Defence for both East and West Coasts including Air Force, Mine Sweepers and Convoying, has functioned efficiently since the outbreak of War. Of it, a Senior British Naval Authority has said: "No finer work is being done anywhere by the Royal Navy itself." Price Control of all commodities, including such vital necessities as wool and sugar, has been established, with prices pegged low for piel poor man, The profiteer is out, and wil} be kept out--in marked contrast to the free- for-all of the last war. Shipping Control and Foreign Exchange Control are firmly established on sound lines and are functioning smoothly and effectively, A $200,000,000 War Loan was over-sub- scribed within two days of its launching, a » record that proves public confidence. Its reasonable rate of 344% contrasts with 514% tax-free rate of the last war, Political and Private, Patronage has been stamped out: merit is the sole basis for selection or promotion in our armed forces. Great Britain's war financing problems have been lessened through the co-operation of the Canadian Government. War Contracts totalling well over $100,000,000 have been placed, stimulating every branch of Canadian industry. Canadian employment has hit an all-time high owing to these orders and to good in- ternal business conditions. Armament deliveries are approaching full- speed: aeroplanes, Bren guns, tanks, artillery accessories, ships--all coming forward in impressive quantities, Large purchases of Canadian wheat, -- preventing a serious wheat glut -- have been arranged through a special mission sent to London by the Mackenzie King Administration, 5,600,000 pounds of bacon will be shipped to Great Britain each week, as well as large quantities of flour and fish, Huge shipments of steel and other mate- rials essential to the conduct of the war have been arranged for. Make Your Vote Support Canadian Unity Such a record simply didn't just happen, It resulted from the efforts of a strong adminis- tration working on behalf of a country united in all its parts as never before. And this singleness of purpose--conspicuously abserit in 1914--is due to the vision, understanding and drive of individual Canadian and Empire- minded Statesmen who back the Empire's Participation in the war with their eyes wide ppea and with full determination to play ir parts to the full. We appeal to the people of Canada for the support which is essential to carry on and complete a task, the groundwork for which has been laid carefully, soundly, wisely . . . with foresight, determination and resolute courage. On March 26th show your faith; vote for the Candidate supporting Mackenzie King and help make sure there can be no break in Canada's steadfast stand in these critical times.
